In a chain complex of modules ...->C_(i+1)->^(d_(i+1))C_i->^(d_i)C_(i-1)->... the module Z_i of i-cycles is the kernel of d_i, which is a submodule of C_i.

A term used in category theory to mean a general morphism. The term derives from the Greek omicronmuomicron (omo) "alike" and muomicronrhophiomegasigmaiotasigma (morphosis), ...

A similarity transformation which preserves orientation, also called a homothety.

One of the Eilenberg-Steenrod axioms which states that, if f:(X,A)->(Y,B) is homotopic to g:(X,A)->(Y,B), then their induced maps f_*:H_n(X,A)->H_n(Y,B) and ...

An n-dimensional manifold M is said to be a homotopy sphere, if it is homotopy equivalent to the n-sphere S^n. Thus no homotopy group can distinguish between M and S^n. The ...

The branch of algebraic topology which deals with homotopy groups. Homotopy methods can be used to solve systems of polynomials by embedding the polynomials in a family of ...

The 6-polyiamonds illustrated above.

The Hopf invariant one theorem, sometimes also called Adams' theorem, is a deep theorem in homotopy theory which states that the only n-spheres which are H-spaces are S^0, ...

The prime link 02-0201 which has Jones polynomial V(t)=-t-t^(-1) and HOMFLY polynomial P(z,alpha)=z^(-1)(alpha^(-1)-alpha^(-3))+zalpha^(-1). It has braid word sigma_1^2.

Let K be a finite complex, and let phi:C_p(K)->C_p(K) be a chain map, then sum_(p)(-1)^pTr(phi,C_p(K))=sum_(p)(-1)^pTr(phi_*,H_p(K)/T_p(K)).
